yeah, i have similar feelings about hypnospace outlaw. i actually don't think i finished it because i hit a wall & the main story didn't really grab me. that being said, the experience of exploring all the sites was very cool and worth getting the game for, so I can't be mad.
the mechanics of teenage exocolonist sound fun (it reminds me a little of Thousand Year Old Vampire, but less brutal), but i think the worldbuilding issues would be insurmountable for me, especially just like... ignoring the cult thing/not caring about it? idk i know people who got swept up in cults so i think i would just be mad the whole time they're not taking it seriously (idk just don't have them be a cult if you don't give a shit about cult dynamics & their inherent harms? very easy choice!)
